Chapter 1288: Letdown (2/2)
Even the Five Elements Sect, the Void Spirit Society, and the Heaven Span Pavilion were astounded by the news.
Godmaker!
This became another nickname of Nie Tian’s after Star of Calamities, attracting worldwide attention to him once again.
Disciples of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace in the Realm of Fragmentary Star and its many subordinate realms were all thrilled to hear this.
At this moment of peril, it was Nie Tian’s heroic undertakings that ignited the flames of hope in their hearts, and fanned them fiercer and fiercer.
“The seventh Son of the Stars severely injured Song Chequan and helped Elder Zu Guangyao break through into the God domain!”
“Even Heaven didn’t want to see our sect wither and fall!”
“Nie Tian has achieved even more than our Lord of the Stars when he was his age! Ji Cang was far less impressive than Nie Tian when he was at the Void domain!”
“There’s no question as to who will be the next Lord of the Stars now!”
Almost every disciple of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace acknowledged Nie Tian’s new status, and deemed that he was the only one that was fit to become the next Lord of the Stars!
...
In the Realm of Heavenly Scales.
A magnificent palace that was identical to that in the Realm of Split Void was channeling power from the stars in the heavens through its dome.
Star power streamed down into the palace like rivers of fragmentary diamonds.
SHEW!
A dazzling star suddenly shot through the dome of the palace to shine blindingly high in the sky.
Moments later, the star morphed into a streak of starlight that flew across the sky, weaving into a glorious and mysterious river of stars.
Many Qi warriors gathered from different parts of the Realm of Heavenly Scales, cheering as they did.
“It’s the Heavenly Stellar Stream, a level three Immortal grade divine tool!”
“Our master made the breakthrough!”
“Our master finally broke through into the Saint domain!”
WHOOSH!
The sixth Son of the Stars, Sikong Cuo slowly rose into the sky through the dome of the palace to bathe in the starlight that sprayed from the divine tool that looked like a river of stars.
His newly-forged domain magically merged with his divine tool, the Heavenly Stellar Stream. Like a nebula filled with countless stars, they emanated starlight that was both pure and fierce.
As an ethereal, ancient, and profound aura spread out from his domain, he seemed increasingly formidable.
Having just entered the Saint domain and holding a third level Immortal grade divine tool, Sikong Cuo seemed to be in high spirits and full of vigor as he channeled streaks of starlight with casual moves of his hands. In a loud voice, he asked, “What’s the situation with the sect? Anything major happen while I was in secluded cultivation?”
As soon as he asked the question, he discovered that everyone cooled down from their excitement and elation.
Everyone fell silent.
“Zou Qing!” Sikong Cuo shouted angrily. “Speak up!”
Zou Qing, who was at the late Saint domain and well-versed in lightning incantations, sagged his head and said in a low voice, “The sect went through many major changes while you were in secluded cultivation. We’re now in a perilous time. The sect could fall at any moment...”
Bit by bit, he explained the major incidents that had happened to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace recently to Sikong Cuo.
After he mentioned that Nie Tian had dealt a heavy blow to the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, massacred enemies in the Domain of Spirit Sea and the Domain of Dark Marsh, severely injured Song Chequan in the Domain of Jade Heaven, destroyed the Realm of Jade Billows, and helped Zu Guangyao break through into the God domain, even Sikong Cuo fell silent.
Hearing Nie Tian’s unimaginable contributions, Zou Qing and his other subordinates rapidly cooled from the elation of Sikong Cuo breaking through into the Saint domain.
Deep down, all of these subordinates had realized that Sikong Cuo no longer stood a chance in the competition for the position of the Lord of the Stars.
“Even you don’t think I have a chance anymore?” Sikong Cuo bellowed. “No matter how impressive he seems, what cultivation base is he at? Void domain! He just entered the Void domain!
“And me? I’ve stepped into the Saint domain! And my Heavenly Stellar Stream, a level three Immortal grade divine tool, has completely merged with my domain!
“Plus, I still have Vice Sectmaster Luo Wanxiang’s resolute support!
“I can’t believe you actually think I’ll lose!”
As he ranted on like a madman, Zou Qing and the others remained silent. However, they contradicted him inwardly.
“Isn’t the Heavenly Stellar Stream a divine tool Nie Tian won back from the Demons by defeating Ophelia?”
“If Elder Mo Heng hadn’t proposed that deal with Luo Wanxiang, how would the Heavenly Stellar Stream have gone to you? Without it, how could you have entered the Saint domain so soon?”
“Times have changed. You’re no longer the brightest star of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.”
“Perhaps you need to wake up to the truth, and back out of the competition against Nie Tian for the position of Lord of the Stars. Only that way will you and we have a future.”
Numerous thoughts entered Zou Qing and the others’ minds. However, knowing Sikong Cuo’s hot temper, no one dared to give voice to them.
“Return to Fragmentary Star City with me!” Sikong Cuo shouted, sounding a bit hysterical. “The Shadow Society and the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect have lain siege to our sect. A final battle can break out at any moment! I’ll prove myself in this battle that will determine the course of this war! The future of our sect lies with me, not Nie Tian, not anyone!”
